SNAT and NAT precedence

Hi Piotr,

 

I have no idea, why the documentation discusses the specific subject.

 

A NAT configuration works bi-directional:

 

- traffic to the NAT (incoming) will be forwarded to the "Origin" by applying destination address translation

 

- traffic from the "Origin" (outgoing) will be forwarded to target and source address translation is applied

 

Where is the use case to combine a SNAT with a NAT?

 

Whenever possible I avoid to create so called Default SNATs (aka SNAT List entries). Instead I´m using virtual servers to forward traffic and apply SNAT as SNAT AutoMap / SNATpool as property of the virtual server or via iRule.

 

Thanks, Stephan
